It’s sad af that when your team scores early and you still know you’re losing the game almost guaranteed.

It’s the same as the other night

We will score w 25 seconds left like the other night when it’s too late

As soon as the Sabres scored in the first I was going to predict 4-1 caps

Where is the Peterka shooting we were getting used to

This is something they do very frequently it’s wild

Thank you. Honestly it is ego and I do need these victory laps here and there. I’ll limit though for sure.

That was predictable

Hahaha. Some of you are wound SO TIGHT. Yeah it’s a forum, relax have a beer.

It was actually a comparison that was brought up routinely. And you’re right—I’m sorry Mrs Adams. Give Kevin a kiss goodnight for me later after his boys grab the W

Remember when Tage was the next Mario Lemuix and Kevin Adams didn’t remind me of a giant, overgrown baby every time I see his face? We don’t often appreciate the good times when we’re in them…

Yeah I thought he got hooked but no, just fanned on it

Tage got hooked there

Benson isn’t allowed to generate a penalty against our opponent until his mustache fills in. So in 2027 hopefully

Greta points yeah. God I miss those guys

Nice yeah I definitely remember that we were basically on the forefront of the new NHL post lockout and took advantage of the new rules. But then kind of got bogged down in the playoffs. At least I think 06-07 run when they allowed more clutching and grabbing again. Unless I’m misremembering.

They must all play call of duty or something

Can anyone with a better memory detail a bit for me what the difference between the team we’ve been trying to build over the last five years or so versus the team that was built going into the lockout year and then after in 2005 - 2006? Why was that team different? What were the differences in approach? I have a few ideas, but I’m curious if anybody has really thought it through. I just absolutely loved the blend of youth, veteran leadership, grit, speed goaltending, and balance that those teams had. I can literally remember every single guy on an individual basis. I have the panoramic picture plaques of the whole team standing together for both of those years. Why did the rebuild from the Hasek teams work then versus what has failed so miserably now?

I genuinely wonder if they will ever get past taking at least 3 to 4 dumb totally unnecessary penalties every game

Seeing as how Dylan just finished puberty and Benson just started, I’m targeting 2034. 2033 if we add a little juice to their water bottles.

Not even getting a clear shot on a two on one that open is just classic Sabres mediocrity.

Damn. Early first goal is a guaranteed L for us. They forget that they aren’t supposed to then take the rest of the game off. Have a good night everyone.

Yeah I really enjoy the Bills players segments win or loss. But I’ve gotten to where I’ll watch Lindy here and there maybe a short interview w UPL or someone but basically never listen to any of the players talk to media. To me it’s just like what are you gonna say? I honestly don’t care what they have to say, which makes me sad.

The way he talks and acts and how he specifically talked about these deals really sounded like he thought he was gaming the system. That no one else had ever thought of trying this. His fatal flaw is his arrogance imo. Instead of executing a tried and true rebuild process with tangible steps of progress to achieve, he went for an ultra risky dynasty build. It really comes down to the whole walk before you can run thing. He didn’t have experience as a general manager, and instead of deferring to more experienced smarter people who had shown the path to rebuilding a franchise, he tries to build some dynasty. Now we are literally anchored even worse than before. I hope I’m wrong, but Adams may have caused the most damage of any of our general managers throughout this entire drought. That’s a really scary thought.

I thought that a really telling thing he said early on regarding Samuelson and one other person it might’ve been Joker— basically said he’s still trying to figure them out. I thought it was interesting to hear the tone he said that with. What he was referring to clearly was just not understanding how they could be so lackadaisical so frequently, also lacking effort consistently. You can tell he just doesn’t understand these younger players as far as how do you not show up ready to play your last game every night. Especially when you’re in your early to mid 20s. I think he is hamstrung pretty badly with some of these contracts or else he would sit a lot of these guys or just force them to get shipped out. Also why he constantly praises Benson because he’s the only young guy we have who plays like an NHL player should.
